Cybersecurity
An increasingly interconnected world is creating new opportunities for addressing societal challenges using embedded devices, cloud systems and powerful algorithms. In this context, organizations worldwide need to ensure that their networks and systems are safe from cyber attacks, and are responsibly and ethically managed with safe and equitable cybersecurity policies and processes.
Computational Health
Computing and new sources of data have transformed how we address medical and public health questions that were once insurmountably complex. We have the potential through data analytics and machine learning to revolutionize disease treatments, reduce the impact of infectious disease, fight health disparities and much more.
Quantum Computing
Quantum information science has the potential to make certain types of classically intractable problems solvable. Research is needed to make these practical, from the development of robust quantum devices to the algorithms and software that can take advantage of their unique capabilities.
